Bloober Team - The Medium
Budget 7 Million
2.7 k simultaneous players and 1k or less average
7k positive reviews vs 0.9k negative (across 4 years)
It was a financial success for Blooper Team and covered its production and marketing costs within 2 days of release
This shows Simultaneous players isn't a metric of success for a single player multi-platform game

Bloober Team - Silent Hill 2 Remake
Budget unknown but likely not hugely more then the Medium

https://vginsights.com/game/silent-hill-2
Steam sales revenue $36.6m million
Steam Units sold 654k
This isn't in including PS5 sales. (On PS5 its been sold out many places.)
23.8k simultaneous players and we haven't reached the first weekend yet
14.9k simultaneous players when only Deluxe edition owners could access it for 2 days
Deluxe edition being the most expensive option so making even more money for Bloober
5k Pre-Purchase Positive Reviews vs 0.2k negative in that window
20k+ Positive reviews vs 0.8k negative reviews in a week
Critic reviews averaging 9/10

The PS5 version is sold out across UK stores & number top 1 seller on US & EU Amazon
It was sold out on GMG and its number 1 top seller there
It's number 1 top seller on PSN store
It was number 1 top seller in the UK, EU and Hong Kong on Steam and Number 2 Globally.

SH2 Remake was finished a year ago and was developed fairly quickly as per other bloober projects. Blooper / Konami decided to wait & only release it now. They can afford to wait for sales over the coming months & for when the PS5 exclusive deal ends.

Imagine believing anything people write on Steam forums and are presenting as facts

I fact checked the sales figures on the Medium and they were accurate. Good post. You can ignore the trolls who can't use google.

I am curious what the budget for this game will be. I'm not obsessed with sales figures so at the end of the day that doesn't make the game good or bad to me, but I'm curious what was spent and if Konami will get back into video games as a result.

Typical troll, and I don't even need to use quotes here.

SH2 never made to N1 on Steam. Also budget $7m?

[Seho]

Where do these numbers come from? I didn't know Konami had released anything, but we'll see what the future brings.
If there is a part 3, I hope the characters will be more like the original.

The cancel culture failed again, the game is a massive hit. Players and the press love it!

The budget of their game The Medium was 7 million euros and it was the highest budget they had worked with up until then. Silent Hill 2 likely has a larger budget by a fair bit, but bloober is based in poland so salaries are about half of what they are in the states and with about 100 employees they work multiple projects at once. In 2021 they released The medium, in 2023 they released Layers of fear and now in 2024 they released SIlent hill 2 so development time of their games don't seem to be bloated.

Ok... these are just estimates...

[Virake]

let's just hope this fuels the revival of the franchise. I don't care about the remake, it's obviously not a faithful recreation, but there are original games in development, and they could be good.

You deserve the award, not trolls. Take one from me.

[Wolfman-RIP]

Bloober Team revenues went up nearly 300% on its best-selling game "The Medium". A game that only had 2.7 players at its peak and cost 7 million to make. A game that made its budget back within 2 days of release as what was reported in the news.

Been playing on the ps5 and love it. Really hope it's a bright future for silent hill fans I'd take a 1 3 and 4 remake but that's dreamy happy if they want to try something new I was weary after the medium it didn't connect at all with me but SH2 they pulled it off well

[Obi WanX Konami]

The medium made Blooper team 35 million in 1 year. They are doing very well despite low peak player count. Plenty of money is made post release.

Good one...

Silent Hill 2 remake's budget is probably around 50 million. Which is some 7 times the Medium's budget.

This game is funded by Konami not Team Bloober by the way. But either way there is zero chance its budget is 7 million.

Why do you lie so much? There is simply no way the budget for the whole game is 7 millions like you claimed, it's complete nonsense.

They haven't recovered anything, considering developement costs, staff costs, production and distribution costs for physical release and the marketing costs they will need several million copies sold to just break even. And breaking even won't make the cut, Konami will expect a significant profit out of this game that is highly unlikely to ever happen.

And for now we are barely at 200k copies sold (and this doesn't even includes the refunds, which would lower the number even more).

It's not a success, for now it's a massive financial flop.

But hey, in the alan woke II community there are still people thinking that the game was a financial success despite the devs complaining in an interview about not having made a profit yet on the game, so i guess you can't beat cope.
